PuppetSoup··on You can just say it
> These all evoke the sense and appreciation of beauty while being completely removed from a creator.

Why is it so black and white? There are things like warmth of the sun, that I enjoy without the creator. There are also art and music that I didn't appreciate at first before knowing the story and the creator behind them. Then I understood where the piece of art came from and what were the emotions behind it when creating it.

What is this propaganda.

> Russia was a long term ally with Ukraine, much like the USA and Canada and then out of nowhere they are in a "soft war"

First off the history between Ukraine and Russia is nothing like between USA and Canada. Russia killed millions of Ukrainians in 30's by starvation, known as "Holodomor".

Secondly Ukraine voted for independence immediately after Soviet Union collapsed.

Most egregious claim is the "soft war" one. Russia attacked to Ukraine in 2014 and started full scale war in 2022 that has led to close to two million casualties. What the f*ck is "hard war" if this is "soft war"?

PuppetSoup··on Gaming on Linux has never been more approachable
I don't think there is a good solution. The best for privacy and security would be server-side anti-cheat but imagine the tantrum EA would have when they'd have to spend some dollars themselves instead of installing a spyware into their clients' pc for free.
PuppetSoup··on Office is too slow, so Microsoft is making it load at Windows startup
That sounds amazing, well not for you but for your kid :) It has been very valuable for me that I messed around windows and linux as a kid

> Linux desktop is getting better but I still wouldn't daily drive it,

I'm genuinely interested what Linux is missing for you? I've been daily driving it for years and do all my work and gaming on it. Is it specific software or?

PuppetSoup··on You don't need Next.js – Why we migrated from Next to React
> I've seen many students use Nextjs for websites that could easily be written with plain html + css, and some chart library.

Maybe the students want to learn a popular framework in order to have job? That is exactly the reason I learned Nextjs and lo and behold, it proved to be useful for me and my employer..
